Don't @ Me with Justin SimienJoin me, Justin Simien, each week for unfiltered conversations with the stars, artists and creators shaping our culture. If you’ve seen my show and film, Dear White People, you know we’re going to get into how race, gender, and sexuality impacts our lives and shapes our work. Beyond the knee-jerk reactions and Twitter hot takes, my guests and I get real and raw. Don't like what you hear? Don't @ Me.

Vendela Vida: The Lovers

Vendela Vida has crafted another mysterious and beautiful novel about a woman's identity, but this woman, Yvonne, is middle-aged, the oldest woman whose tightly-knit personality Vida has unraveled so far.

It's a method that requires a good deal of confidence and trust that a character's spiritual journey will reach its destination.
